Regular Bill Application

The Regular Bill Application process is open for members of the youth who are accepted as a
delegate in the Philippine Model Congress 2017 and have excellent ideas for bill proposals to be
discussed and potentially approved in the congress proper. The bill application process shall be
done through the actual composition of legislation, guided and regimented by the bill template
below.

The bill sponsor shall detail the proposed legislation in totality through guidelines stipulated in
Chapter 2 of the bill template. The content of the legislation shall be the sole basis for evaluation
of the proposal. The legislation shall not be composed of less than 150 lines, starting from the
line of Chapter 1, and all the necessary policies and procedures must be discussed and presented
to allow rightful criticism and assessment of the proposal. All bill proposals shall be assessed
with the following standards:
- Originality – Pre-existing bills that were already submitted to the Philippine Congress
will not be allowed. Modified version of pre-existing bills, however, will be allowed as
long as the changes are substantial.
- Debatable – Bills cannot propose panacea solutions such as increasing funding to one
sector. Simply put, there has to be some room for opposition.
- Relevance – Bills must address current problems that are relevant to the Filipino people.
- Substance – Bills must be well-written, well research and well thought of.
